And another reason to have invaded

"The United States has found 500 chemical weapons in Iraq since 2003, and more weapons of mass destruction are likely to be uncovered, two Republican lawmakers said Wednesday.

"We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, chemical weapons," Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., said in a quickly called press conference late Wednesday afternoon.

Reading from a declassified portion of a report by the National Ground Intelligence Center, a Defense Department intelligence unit, Santorum said: "Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent. Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist.""


So the WMD's did exist, just like the Administration said. But why in tarnation does it take a US senator to say all this, rather then the administration defending itself? Its just stupid! This is the kind of story that sticks a knife in the democrat propaganda campaign!
Just glad that Saddam didn't use'em on our troops on the way in. That would have been terrible.
